CSC to TSC to NVC: the Saga continues

[Val and Gary 29]

Wow, really? So there are only like 4 days out of the whole month that interviews are scheduled on? That seems a little ridiculous...

I'd say they got your response and are looking into it. I'm not sure if it's quite over yet. I hope so though! You guys need your CC before the week is over.

I also had to re-email my documents. Now, whether or not they reviewed my original documents or the ones I re-sent, I don't know. I'm betting that if I had mailed my documents instead of emailed, I would have been out of NVC a lot faster than 37 days since I was done sending things to NVC within 5 business days of getting my case number. Oh well, can't complain as I finished NVC with no RFEs and have an interview date for early May.

Um, wow... Really? Why... Wha... I am completely baffled. Have you tried talking to a supervisor and asking them WHY they want this information? It's not required at all...

Totally baffled here, but because our lawyer ticked the OPTIONAL box to say we have a checking account, we have to provide the evidence. It all sounds VERY flaky to me, as we are NOT using this as part of any supporting evidence on the I-864 - we have a joint sponsor.

I am emailing them now, this is just ridiculous.

Wow, that's ridiculous. Definitely email/call cause you should have been done with NVC by now and possibly even have an interview date by now.

I hope this will end this story and we will have CC. The Finland PCC is on the way to LA at my wife. But it will take time until NVC will receive it and again in the system and again waiting another 20 days. They can just ask me to bring the PCC at the interview and this is better.

Approved!!!!!!!!!! :dance: We are sooo excited and happy, it was a beautiful day in Bogota (meaning no rain haha) and the woman who interviewed us was one of the nicest people ever. We are so thankful for everything, for all the help my fellow visa journey friends have given us. This was the best anniversary gift ever! It wasn't crowded at all, so we got out of there in less than 3 hours, that is almost record time for the Bogota consulate

hahahahha thanks Saylin!!!! I need that dancing carlton from celldoc, now that would complete it ! Amazing how perfect the day went, I guess frontloading at the USCIS stage really does work. They had all of our photos, everything..they asked us VERY basic questions, and said congratulations, you are approved! The woman who interviewed us was so nice and personable, we really lucked out

Congrats to everyone that has received their interview dates!

Also, a word of advice for anyone doing Electronic Processing(@ Montreal), do NOT email any of your supporting documentation before you receive your opt-in confirmation from NVC. I waited 30 days and my documents had still not been reviewed and after speaking with a supervisor I was told that if you send your documents before you received the opt-in confirmation they will be confused and not have a case to match the documents to! At this point I'm not sure that electronic processing is any faster than snail mail

completely agreee about the speed. The OPTIN confiramtion takles forever. Anyway thanks for the heads up, i will have to send the docs again after OTPIN confirmation.

Once I receive the OPTIN I will re-email the packages too.

Just called again to confirm I did have an expedite, and got a very rude operator. I asked him to confirm that it was approved since I hadn't gotten any emails yet and he said yes, you need to give it 48-72 hours to be processed. Then I asked how long does it typically take NVC to send the case to consulate. And he very rudely said " I told you, it takes 48-72 hours". Sheesh!!!
